I ran autoupdate and it just killed my homemade css and design 🙁
Now I have to roll back.

Hi Chis, I don’t understand how it’s possible. Where do you change plugin design and CSS? The only way it can be overwritten if you changed that in plugin file itself.

Chris

Indeed, I must had changed the entire file in order to modify the design, too bad these updates are changing those codes too and since I modified them, some months passed, can’t remember exactly what I did.

Thanks.
Chris.

Chris, If you change plugin file, the new version of plugin will overwrite your changes to that file. Try to find backup of your blog files or cached pages can help (like cached in Google for example or other search engines or archives).
The best way to add your own design is to do the following: 1) Select “List” as Output style in plugin settings. 2) Now you can turn off Plugin inline CSS 3) Add your styles using #related-posts-thumbnails selector in your theme’s styles.css. Check this http://wordpress.shaldybina.com/plugins/related-posts-thumbnails/#display_editing This way you can guarantee that updating plugin won’t affect your design changes.

First of all, thank you for your work! – I am wondering if it is possible to include the current post among the results. It’s for a project where this thumbnails serve as the menu. Kind regards, Petra.

HI Petra, you need to change database query in plugin for this (line 147) and remove condition ” and ID<>” .$id

Hi,

I see in the code that one can set the size of the thumbnails, but there’s no interface for that in the settings. When I changed the code in related-posts-thumbnails.php, there was no change.

My reason for changing the thumbnail size is that I’d like to have 5, not 3 related posts shown, but after 3 it wraps even though it has 630px of width to use.

I’m seeing plenty of WP sites using this, but they all show only 3 posts. Is this a fixed thing or can it be changed without wrapping?

Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, that solution results in altering the thumbnail sizes throughout my site. My theme is using several different sizes. When applied, this solution standardized all thumbnails to the same size.

This however, explains why other sites are sticking to the 3 thumb option. In a future edition, I hope you’ll consider putting an interface in the settings to control the thumbnail size and wrapping.

Till then, I’ll follow the pack and stick to the 3 thumbs option as well.

Bob, in the link I gave you there is an option to add completely new thumbnail size without changing your current thumbnails.

Hi Maria, first, thanks for this great plugin ! 🙂

I got a problem today. Since I installed “custom sidebar”, everthing went wrong in my real sidebar, related post thumbnails widget disapeared like others. Then I removed “custom sidebar” but now related post thumbnails show my pictures in the sidebar, it’s right, but also after the post content, what I don’t need, and I can’t find why when I turn off the automatic append box, nothing happens ?

“Choose Output style as ‘List’ in plugin settings
Set ‘Turn off plugin styles’ flag
Now you can use your own CSS to customize output. For horizontal display you can use suggested CSS (you need to paste it in styles.css file of your theme):”

…but your plugin doesn’t even recognize the code I have placed in the styles.css of my theme.

Update: Sorry, I was wrong..

Hi. Great plugin, thank you. I have one simple question, though. Below the title and above the thumbnails, there is too much space for my liking. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Great plugins..but how the way to display thumbnail related on attachment page(image.php)?

Thank you for that Plugin Maria.
I was wondering if there is any way to display thumbnails from different post types ?

I have regular posts (for content) and I would like to display thumbnails from related custom posts (for shopping)

I’m not sure if you’re still working on this plug in. I really love it! My only problem with it is that I would like to generate related post thumbnails on my pages (page_type). I’m not really interested in having them related in any way. Random is just fine. My blog sees a lot of “page” traffic and I’m looking for a way to encourage those viewers to read some “posts” as well. I’ve tried every way I can to make this work, but nothing I’ve tried displays post thumbnails on pages. Any suggestions?
